great vids ---used to fly " Misslebitches" for Lowes-- SN 161 192 and 232 next to last F made. Fun times. Toughest light turbo-p made. Flew those things all over east coast lots of stories LOl ! This was back in 76' through about 80' then into B-200-42 machines.
MU-2 pilots are a different breed of aviators. Despite the fact that the MU-2 is a turboprop, it is a high performance aircraft and takes a real aviator to understand its flying characteristics and limitations. After understanding this, the a/c is a flying marvel and a pleasure to fly. Hats off to all MU-2 pilots.
I love your videos and I also love the MU-2. Last year I wrote a book about it. It would be awesome to see other camera angles for example the cockpit operation.
@@bluefishbeagle1 ROFLOL you got that right-- had one head r-na v we used to think was space shuttle stuff. That a corporate or private MU2. Used to go to FS in Houston every yr. 10-15 usually in class and took a hour for all to tell BS stories what all we did in following yr !
@@twoturnin1 ha ha During refresh I'd say to my instructor "let me ask you a question" he'd stop me mid sentence and say "Ok Ed what did you do now" ha ha
Bernard, thanks for your interest and enthusiasm in my channel, I fly this aircraft for a company it is not my own, thus I fly by their rules which generally prohibit passengers who are not on company business. Perhaps you could find some local pilots who could take you along.. best of luck and happy flying
@@bluefishbeagle1 Garrett 151's kept us alive though the years into all the crazy KY and TENN airports we went into all kinds of WX. sn 161 was at that time highest time F in world
Autopilot limitation requires minimum speed of 125KIAS, so using autopilot or hand flying I stay above that usually about 130KIAS over the fence varies depending on wind but usually no wind its about 118 KIAS with touchdown between 90-100KIAS.
@@bluefishbeagle1 - Thanks for your reply. I'm surprised it's that fast since I have read the stall speed for the MU-2B-40 is 73 kts and the MU-2B-60 is 76 kts. A 1.3 Vso would put that around 100 kts for an over the fence speed and just above stall at touchdown.. Oh well, I'm just a private pilot with about 200 hrs in Skyhawks and Archers. UA-cam videos are about as close as I will get to an MU-2. Unless I win the lottery.
I've always loved the MU-2 because it's fast and unforgiving and you have to be a 100 Miles ahead because there is a airspeed limit of 250knots below 10,000 feet which will impact average speed for shorter flights greater than longer flights
Wow, what a nice landing !! Super smooth!!! Two thumbs up!!!!

Great landing and you are doing exactly what I would do to let it roll out and keep directional controls and depending on the runway service

most are very loyal to the aircraft and it's safety record now that the training issue is resolved
sort of the B-26 A or B from WW2. hot and powerful, but you really had to be ahead of it.

とても参考になりました、日本国民を代表して感謝致します 🙏
どういたしまして、素晴らしい飛行機を作ってくれてありがとう

What is the name of your book and how can I get a couple of copies? Best regards.
Glad you like the videos , I hope to make the more frequently soon
Very nice‼️
Could you from time to time show us part of the approaches with instrument panel view? It’d be awesome.
Will work on that
Great video.
Hope to start making more videos soon watch for them
Greaser! Nice landing. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
BTW used to fly co-pilot in 411 into Seymore from KSPA 71-73. Old dude used to shoot back course ADF approaches on 32 !!
GPS is like stealing candy from a baby,. Those were the days, ADF or nothing else,

MU2 Hell of a plane.😉👍
I uploaded a video of this plane after it landed on October 18th, 2014, in Ann Arbor, MI.
Great I'd like to see it if you can provide a link
Great get me on your flight schedule so I can get ready for the next flight

YT just cut out my nickname of MU-2 ---another nick was turbohonda.
That it is much less to maintain than other brands

I flew SN 192--had hot WS and tip lights with new de-mate at KCAE Eagle Aviation.
I'm curious what your approach, "over the fence" and touchdown speeds are.
Autopilot limitation requires minimum speed of 125KIAS, so using autopilot or hand flying I stay above that usually about 130KIAS over the fence varies depending on wind but usually no wind its about 118 KIAS with touchdown between 90-100KIAS.

If it was the unforgiving beast it's naysayers say I'd be dead ha ha thanks Bernard always welcome your comments
